A MOTORIST from Liverpool is to star in the new series of Dangerous Drivers' School.

Manjeet Singh Basra – known to his friends as Baz – is helped to tackle his aggression and speedy driving by his friend Claire Bracegridle, who has been an AA Driving School instructor for 14 years.

Claire says she used to be terrified to get in the same vehicle as him and was afraid that he would end up seriously injuring himself if he continued to drive the way he did.

Baz, 42, from Aigburth , described his driving as “aggressive, impatient and stupid” but admits he wouldn’t have been able to shake his bad habits on his own. Baz said: “I knew I was driving badly before but I had just got myself into some really bad habits that I couldn’t seem to break on my own.

“Since my lesson with Claire, I have really tried to stick to what she taught me, although I do have occasional lapses.

“There has been a real improvement in my driving and I think overall I have made some big changes. I feel a lot safer when I am driving and I think other people in my car feel safer, too.”

Moving on from the last series – which was shown in late 2011 – the series will show AA instructors attempting to help some of the UK’s worst drivers change their ways on the road – including some famous faces.

Claire will also appear in the show’s final episode, on February 21, helping Liverpool- born author and former MP, Edwina Currie, focus her attention on the roads.

Baz will appear in Dangerous Drivers' School next Thursday, January 31, at 8pm on Channel 5.
